Boston has many claims to fame, from its rich history to our funky accents. IF you're a Bostonian, some of these will definitely strike a chord with you.
1. It's pretty wicked, and it's wicked pretty.
First and foremost, if you haven’t traveled to Boston, make sure it’s on your bucket list. No matter the season, this city is always pleasing to the eye.
2. It's one of the most historic cities in the country.
For those of you who don’t know, the city of Boston plays a big role in American history. From the 1630s to now, you can thank the city of Boston and it’s founders for making America the way it is.
3. Boston sports over everything
A lot of people hate us. That’s just because they’re jealous we have some of the best sports teams in the nation. If you get the chance, you HAVE to catch a game.
4. The food, especially on the North End
Ever been to the north end? If not, add that to your bucket list too. Mike’s Pastry offers one of the best… scratch that… THE BEST cannoli’s ever. The north end is like a mini Italy and if you’re not one for pasta, don’t worry, many famous restaurants lie on every street corner.
5. Shopping on Newbury Street
If Newbury Street doesn’t have it, then you don’t need it. Save your money because you never know what you might spend.
6. Easy public transportation
If you don’t live directly where the action is, “the T” will be sure to get you there from wherever you are.
7. The Boston Marathon
The Boston Marathon is one of the most famous races in the world. Many international runners spend years training for it and it is such an honor to receive a medal from this rigorous race.
8. Beach getaways
If for some reason you want to get away from the city, beaches are everywhere! For the most part, they are no longer than a 20-minute drive. So suit up and go catch some rays
9. We have amazing hospitals.
Boston is ranked nationally for the best hospitals. If you need medical attention, you will always be in good hands
10. We pretty much have our own language.
Some hate it, some love it. But personally, I think its wicked cool.
If you’re a Masshole, embrace and love it. If not, well… I’m sorry.
